I am honoured to have been elected as Acting State President of the Victorian Liberal Party following a ballot of members of the State Assembly this evening,

My priority now is to work with fellow Liberal Party members to prepare for next year's Federal election campaign and to re-build following our state election loss.

This will include examining a wide range of opportunities to improve the party's governance and how we advocate Liberal values and policies in the community. ... See MoreSee Less

Lot of work to do - too much dead wood !

Elected as Acting State President???? What, until someone better comes along ? Therein lay the problem. The paty needs commitment, stability and to focus on what the voters (not the party "faithful") think is important.

Good Luck. Might have to explain to your parliamentarians that we the people are not stupid. And we can cope with some good election promises. And get onto those companies that don’t pay their taxes to Australia. And an open commission instead if hiding behind closed doors of people who do wrong and are reported by the police. Really????

UNSTABLE goverment Election needed now

Congratulations 😊👍

Honest and think people are stupid as you are Ha ha ha🤣

If you have a better attitude than Kroger did towards your support base, you might have a chance

best of luck on a tough gig, I suggest you get off social media until you figure out what your future moves are going to be, don't let public opinion poison your plan. Oh one more thing, moving to the centre is only good for lefties,

Don’t waste your time. All you dinosaur parties need to go

Esther Goldberg you say people aren't stupid they just voted in one of the most corrupt government we've ever had in Victoria

If I were you, I would take out funeral insurance for the liberal party. They have a terminal illness, courtesy of best prime minister (not) Australia ever had.

Trolls from the left always hovering

Can’t wait to see your labor smear campaign and not actually anything positive from your party just like the bloke on the far left. Take a leaf out of the hammering you got in Vic and start telling us what you’re going to do and not what the opposition will!

Well its clear Dopey Dan has fixed the crime problem,more bloody AFRICANS running riot,filthy disrepectfull animals should be castrated.

Tell us more about your thoughts on how gay people are disabled.

I couldn't care less if we have a liberal or labor government until the powers that be govern for the people NOT themselves NOT overseas countries or interests Not for the mega companies

Thanks Robert Clark

Take the opposite view to labor on everything and that might be the start of an opposition. You might be surprised how many people agree with you. Labor got in through brainwashing, dumb voters (including rich liberals who decided to punish) and most importantly a pathetic opposition "lead" by Guy.

The letter by appeared in Letters to the Herald Sun Editor this morning (13/12/18) and what a brilliant summing up it provides of the political scene in Victoria and what the future holds. Victoria will effectively have a one party system in place and will be at the mercy of that party. "ALP slick engineers Shaun Carney says Victorian Labor will be in power for at least two terms. (“Just decide who you are”, Opinion Dec 11). I think he seriously understates that timeline. Labor will be in power for at least a generation. It has been so clever in creating its own breed of future voters. Labor is squeezing the Greens out of existence in Vivtoria.by simply taking on every cause that the Greens stand for. They eventually will be known as Green Labor. Even Victorian Liberals say they will copy the current Labor to give themselves a remote chance of victory. Fully supported by Labor, if not manufactured by them, schools are full of cause-pushing activist teachers who proudly wear “Free the Refugees” T-shirts and who want to walk out of classes to protest about it. The brainwashing of young impressionable minds on refugees, same sex marriage, Safe Schools gender confusion, political correctness and every other social issue is moulding a new generation of Green Labor voters. We have seen signs of it already when hundreds of school kid activists, most probably unable to even spell, took to the streets to protest about climate change. This will work perfectly for the Victorian Labor Party for a very long time as most of these are dealt with federally, so they can dodge the blame and redirect the rage to Canberra. Universities throughout Australia are going down the same path with very same tactics. Social Engineering done to perfection: As a political party, brainwash the future voters with causes you support, pander to their causes when they reach voting age, and you will be in power for many, many years. So clever."

Good luck Robert. A very worthy appointment. A long and tough road lies ahead.

I think a good start would be to get rid of all graffiti in Victoria and anyone caught doing graffiti, deserves a consequence.

Sincerest congratulations Robert, we couldn’t have a better president at a more critical time.

Let’s hope you join the actors union

liberal values -- screw the poor --give to the rich --nothing will change -- just more bullshit

Congratulations Robert!

This is a video that was distributed widely through Chinese media by the Labor Party during the recent state election. Such dishonesty and exploitation of new and vulnerable citizens should be completely unacceptable in any political debate. If Labor perpetrate this sort of dishonesty whenever they think they can get away with it, how can anyone ever believe a word they say? Victorians and Australians deserve better. ...

Sore losers? Of course you blokes always tell the truth? You are as bad as each other

This is disgraceful

You lot would know more about dishonesty than anyone.

I'm still trying to figure out how one can vote for someone in a chosen party of choice then they decide to go over to another party surely this is wrong

Gotta say Labor specialise in scare campaigns! By the way if we are going to talk about the “Homophobic” Liberals, can someone please remind me who brought in same sex marriage?

You are all lying grubs

Lies & crime - ALP staples !

Nothing surprises me when it comes to how low Labor will go!

I’m sure the truth is being told in relation the collapse of the Liberal party starting with the pathetic Scott Morrison

Seriously the election was last week stupid chinese!

Absolutely disgraceful, don't care if its Labour or Liberal or any other party I am sick of this crap. All this name calling....get a life!!!

Sneaky rats, Labor

If it’s Chinese media it would be shown in china

They already know what they can get away with....

Did he say these things?I think he did.

If this is the case labor should be prosecuted and any one who tells lies to the people to get an advantage it goes for all political parties

Unfortunately, many of your posts prior to the election were unfounded and lacked credibility. I would have thought you would ensure that your posts after the election was based on truth, correctness and plausibility. I would also implore that you provide innovation and viability to well informed policies that can be a positive to the Liberal Party instead of post after post of these negative rants.

Labor are very very well known for their gutter tactics , scare mongering . We have always spent decades cleaning up their messes , if they didn’t have unions backing them they would be dead in the water .

I did notice a lot of asians applauding Andrews win

Sadly Robert you’re probably wasting your breathe. Voters didn’t seem to mind how much they were lied to , hoodwinked and robbed in the end.

Sore loser 😂

Dan the union man and his lot are criminals and Melburnians I say that because it wasn't country seats that got him re elected don't seem to care ,they get exactly what they voted for has a tin pot dictator .please just keep to the metropolitan area . I would say he needs investigating for treason but he has the police union in his pocket as well .

Dirty politics 😡

BOOOHOOO IF YOU LNP WERE ANY GOOD , YOU WOULD'VE WON

what do you expect from a pack of liars

The way forward for Victorian Liberals - my article in The Spectator on-line: "...in Australia and Victoria the community now rightly wants hope and renewal, not just more of the same.

Another Victorian election, and another Liberal loss, leaving the state with a financially profligate and socially radical government in near total control of the Parliament. Are we Victorian Liberals…

Libs lost me with their climate change crap.

Have to get some unity at the Circus in Canberra, first. Abbot help Andrews win the first time, the Coup help him win the second. People are well and truly fed up with the infighting within the party for personal gains. Look after the electorate for a change.

I’m voting Conservative. Like Corey Bernardi heaps 👍 he’s not scared to call a spade a spade.

Well worth reading and considering.

Pandering to minorities, Labour /Greens have that covered well and truly. Liberals / Nationals have Alienated their base. The billionaires, Millionaires and the Tax Avoiding Multi Nationals voted for them.

now need a person to sell them

I really think your ship has sailed in Victoria.

Robert you are still in shock after last week and delusional. When may arrives forget the baseball bat it wii be worse than that. Your colleagues at a Federal level are bludgers with Morrison only having the parliament sit for 13 days. The LNP still do not get it.

Couldn't agree more.
